Describe the improvement

We'd like to have starter kits for helping the SLIM community with getting a JUnit or PyUnit testing framework up and running, by providing real world example templates to customize and start using. Additionally, having an architectural reference diagram explaining how Java unit test using JUnit in Jenkins would ideally work would be great. These two were mentioned in previous changelog reports, but were pushed to be done later.

Maybe we need another ticket for these, but it'd be good to have recommendations / starter kits / tool pointers for:

• Unit testing
• Integration
• System
• Regression

[jpl-jengelke]

I will focus on covering those in the Reference Architecture first. Maybe we should split this one off from the Starter Kit?

[riverma]

Yeah - agreed @jpl-jengelke. Reference architecture would help lay the context, but separate starter kits (if it makes sense) would be a good approach.

@yunks128 - do you have some material within your #110 ticket that could help with this ticket?

[yunks128]

@riverma This ticket is precisely what I'm currently working on with #110, including reference architectures and starter kits!

[jpl-jengelke]

The JUnit tests in the Java-side are already completed, although they may benefit from updates.
